4Glaims, (01146-162) This invention relates to an ornamental; doll, which can be produced in many different forms, and the peculiarity of which-resides more par ticularly in a very convenient and simple manner to form theinner structure andthe body of the doll, j

Thus, for example, an essential feature of the ornamental doll according to the inventionresides in the provision of an inner structure composed merely of four open wire loopsbent in hairpin fashion, three of which, having the ends of their limbs set together at an angle to one another and being connected together at said'ends 1 by a wire binding, form the legs of thedoll, whilst the fourth wire loop engaging at its bent end with the'connected ends of the first three loops constitutes the inner reinforcement or the body of the doll and extends with itsfree ends into the hollow interior of and thus carries the head of the doll.

Another feature of the doll according to the invention is to provide the two arms of the doll of'a wire having a wrapping of tissue paper, which wire, after the same has been bent to represent a pair of arms, and upon the formation of the body of the doll by arepeated winding of a strip of tissue paper about said fourth wire loop, is included within this wrapping of tissue paper, whereby the arms are secured to the body.

Still another feature of the present invention is to secure the head of the doll to the body in similar fashion by including the breast portion of the head within the wrapping of said tissue paper upon formation of the body of the doll.

A doll designed according to the invention provides in particular the possibility of making up the garment parts for the doll for the greater part from articles of daily use, such as pockethandkerchiefs, dusters, or the like, which can be secured to the body of the doll by means of pins, wire, tape or cord, so that for the purpose of use they may be again readily removed.

The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 shows different parts of which the inner structure of the doll may consist.

Fig. 2 shows the aforesaid parts loosely connected together.

Fig. 3 illustrates the wrapped body of the doll.

Figs. 4 and 5 are front views illustrating diagrammatically two respective dolls in dressed condition, whilst Fig. 4a, is a rear view of the upper portion of the doll according to Fig. 4, the outer garment being removed.

' consist of pocket-handkerchiefs.

Fig. 6 is a rear'view of the upper'portion'of the doll according. to Fig.5. I I 1 The dolls in the embodiments illustrated each possess an inner structure comprisingfour wire loops I, 2', 3, 4 bent in hairpin 'orsubstantially U-shaped" fashion. The three wire means or loops I, 2 and 3-, disposed at an angle to one an other as'shown in Fig 1, are connected together at their upper free ends by means of a wire 6 'wound about the sameand then constitute the legs 'ofthe doll. The loop or wire member 4 is fitted at its bent end 5 about the connected ends of the loops I72" and 3' 'heldtogether by said-wire 6,asshOWn-inFigI Z,andextendsupwardly into the hollow interior'of the head I, which is convenientlyproduced from papier mach.

- 'The two arms of the doll are formed by a'single substantially u-shapedfwir'e pieceil, about which, as shown in' Fig. '2', there 'is wourida flexible strip} preferably of tissue paper'B; e A strip of tissue 'paper It is wound about the three legs l-, 2 and 3 until a desired thickness of said wound-paper has-been attained; and a further strip of paper H, which in this case, if 'desired, "may be wider than the other strips, is wound about the l'oop fi for the purpose of producing the torso. Upon the production of the torso or body l2 by the wrapping of the strip of paper li about the U-shaped wire member 4 the paper II is preferably also wrapped over the suitably bent wire piece 8 forming the arms, as shown in Fig. 3, the wire piece 8 having previously been wrapped in the strip of paper 9. The lower neck portion of the head I is preferably also includedin the wrapping I l, causing the head to be secured to the torso.

A doll produced in this manner and asshown in Fig. 3 can then be dressed with garments or garment parts of paper or textile material as desired, in which connection the strips of paper 9, l0 and H forming holding means for said material are preferably selected in a color to match the color of the garment material.

The doll illustrated by way of example in Fig. 4 possesses sleeves l4 composed of paper with similar cuffs IS, a jacket It also composed of paper, and two trouser-leg portions ll-l1 covering the legs I and 3, which trouser-legs may conveniently These handkerchiefs I1 are suitably folded and at the upper ends are secured by pins l8 to the torso l2, which consists for the greater part of paper, whilst at the lower ends they are passed about the legs 1 and 3 and are pinned together at I9. One of the trouser-leg portions formed by handkerchiefs I! (Fig. 4) has been left open at the lower end thereof to 'show partly the inner structure.

In the embodiment according to Figs. 4, 4a the arms 8, in contradistinction to the arms 9 of Fig. 3, have not been included within the wrapping formed by the strip II, but are placed to-- gether with the sleeves l4 against the back of the torso l2 and are secured thereto by means of a wire 20, as shown in Fig. 4a.

In the doll illustrated in Fig. 5, the torso I2 is unclothed, whilst the sleeves 2i consist of paper. In this embodiment the arms 8 with said sleeves 2| are included in the wrapping l I about the torso l2, as shown in Fig. 6. The lower garment parts comprise a petticoat 23 composed ofpaper and two pocket-handkerchiefs 24-24, which can be folded as desired, and can be secured together with the petticoat 23 to the lower end of the torso l2 by means of a tape or cord 25, in which case the correct position of the garment parts on the torso l2 can be ensured by means of pins (not shown).

In the embodiment according to Fig. 4 the lower ends of the legs forming loops I, 2, 3 are bent in the form of feet. In Fig. 5, the legs forming wire means or loops are so disposed in spaced apart relation to one another, and particularly, the rearward leg 2 is bent in such fashion with respect to the remaining legs, that the doll will safely stand in upright position.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
